Golf Gear: Ping G400 Irons

THE SCOOP: The new G400 iron is engineered to give golfers tour-level distance and height combined with the forgiveness and control they need to hit more greens. Its COR-Eye Technology combines with a new top rail undercut to increase face flexing in a catapult-like fashion for faster ball speeds that launch shots higher and farther with low spin for a strong flight. A unique heat-treating process produces Hyper 17-4 stainless steel, which makes the face 40 percent stronger than traditional 17-4 stainless steel and allows for a thinner face and 18 percent more face flexing. A composite back-cavity badge made of aluminum and elastomer provides an enriched impact response that creates a powerful sound and feel. The Hydropearl Chrome finish reduces friction to improve turf interaction while giving it a premium look.

WHAT IT COSTS: The G400 irons are available now. They carry an MSRP of $125 per iron with steel shaft; $137.50 per iron with graphite shaft.
